Benefits of technology

This design simplifies the mechanism by eliminating the need for lifting drives, allowing for efficient 90-degree rotation of objects without obstructing the transport plane, thus reducing complexity and space requirements.

Problems solved by technology

However, the mechanism described is quite complex, since not only the rotary drive for the disk-shaped drive elements (drive rollers), but also a lifting drive for the frame carrying these drive elements, must be provided.
This leaves very little space for mounting the rotary drive and the lifting drive for the frame.

Embodiment Construction

)

[0034]FIGS. 1 through 4 show a strapping platform 1 that includes two parts 2, 3. A gap 4 is provided between parts 2, 3 to allow the passage of a strap 27.

[0035]Both parts 2, 3 of strapping platform 1 are provided with transport means that enable an object to be transported in a direction at a right angle to gap 4. The transport means are formed by conveyor belts 5. Three parallel conveyor belts 5 are arranged side by side on each part 2, 3 of strapping platform 1. Conveyor belts 5 are driven by drive rollers 9, 10, which are provided at the outer edges of parts 2, 3 of transport platform 1 and extend parallel to gap 4. Each of drive rollers 9, 10 is driven by a d.c. motor 11, 12. A shared motor controller ensures that drive motors 11, 12 rotate synchronously and at the same speed. Deflection rollers are situated at the inner edges of parts 2, 3 of transport platform 1, adjacent to gap 4. Each conveyor belt 5 passes around one of drive rollers 9, 10 and one of deflection rollers 1...

Abstract

A mechanism for rotating an object having a flat bottom surface on a conveyor system is described. Four circular disk segments whose rotational axes lie on a plane and are offset 90 degrees from each other are pressed against the bottom surface by a linear drive and subsequently rotated. The top surface of each disk segment lies against the bottom surface in the direction of a tangent of a circle around the rotational axis of the object. The recessed segments do not touch the bottom surface of the object. As the circular disk segments rotate, their outer circumferences rest against the bottom surface and rotate the object. This rotating mechanism is used in strapping machines and provides a method of rotation.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention generally relates to a drive element for an object-rotating mechanism, and in particular, to a drive element for a mechanism rotating an object on a conveyor system.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]A mechanism described in German Patent Application 32 48 788 C2 has at least three vertically moving rollers that are rotatable around horizontal axes and jointly movable up and down, are located below the transport plane of the conveyor system in the rest position, and are lifted at least partially above the transport plane in the working position, the rollers being synchronously drivable in the working position so that the top surface of each roller moves in a direction tangent to a circle about the rotational axis of the object. In a practical embodiment, four disk-shaped rollers, each offset from each other by 90 degrees, are located as working elements in a common circle around the rotational axis. The axes of the ...
